One Month

What can happen in a month? Well if you are in the Fahner Family that would be plenty! My life has made a big change from a life of work and rest. I am now trying out another full time job as a chauffeur. My children are thankfully back in school but with that comes after school activities and homework. Seth is trying to adjust to having more than math and spelling for homework. Even after 4 weeks of school it is still a struggle but believe me he will see the light. Brandon is in the 7th grade and by now homework is well under control, the big thing for him is the addition of Ensemble Band. This will be rehearsal every Tuesday from 2:30 - 5pm, if you see him don't pinch his cheeks because I am sure they will be sore. That is what he gets for choosing the Trombone over the Drums like I told him to do! He also has been active in Boy Scouts receiving Merit Badges for Nature, First Aid, Weather and (my least favorite) Reptile and Amphibian. He also advanced to Tenderfoot and we are very proud of his progress. Now, I saved Taylor for last simply because I think that there is a word limit and I wanted to make sure that I was able to mention what the Boy's are doing. Taylor (imagine a huge exhale), my Baby Girl has got me RUNNING! I have signed more permission forms for her this year than I have in the 7 years of school before. She has wanted to join every club the school offers including Student Council. Please do not get me wrong, after school clubs are great but she only has 5 days to put it in! We have had our discussion and are now down to 3 after school clubs and one during school. Taylor will be appearing in 2 plays this year, Cinderella and The Little Mermaid (see me for dates and times). In Cinderella she will be a dragonfly and in The Little Mermaid she will revive her role as a dragonfly and add to that a Mersister - Atina. This is sure to be a good time for her and for us! By the way The Little Mermaid is on a Monday and I think that this is a great Family Home Evening idea! She has also joined the Spanish Club, Fitness Club and a book club called Brown Bags and Books! Pause as I catch my breath because this does not include Achievement Days! On top of all of this she also wants a social life like a Daddy ~ Daughter dance and a birthday party at the Marriott. Ask me sometime about her crashing a wedding - YEAH she is only 10! I will try and write more often so you all will know the ins and outs of this Family on the run. Have a wonderful day!

TOP 10

No, I am not David Letterman but I do have a top 10. On zazzle.com there were nearly 3000 tshirts that are for the Twilight series. I did not look at all of the 3000 but I did spend enough time on there to find a few favorites.


10. Twilight Jacob vs. Edward Who cares they're both delicious!



9. I have OCD - Obessive Cullen Dissorder



8. Blondes may have more fun but Edward prefers brunette! (yeah me)



7. Why am I covered in feathers?



6. Edward Cullen Bring Sexy Back Since 1901



5. Edward can bite my pillows anyday.



4. Boyfriend Requirements *glitters in the sun * cold to the touch * very strong * very fast runner * drinks blood * name's Edward



3. Why don't you sparkle like a real man?



2. Edward can bust my headboard, bite my pillows and bruise my body anyday.



1. I'm in love with a fictional vampire. Your point?



Now there are a few tshirts for the kids that were really cute and I will share those with you as well. I would hate for anyone to waste their time the way I do.

* My Mom is a Twilighter (not sure what that means, but we got to have cereal for dinner)


* Daddy who is this Edward Cullen Mommy says she is in love with?



They are really cute and I will update you all on the one that I choose to get. Or you could just see me wearing it around.

Now for more interesting news. The movie has been rescheduled and we will get to see this on November 21st. I am still going into this movie open minded because I do not like the person that they have chosen to be Edward, nothing against anyone but there is not a person alive that is as perfect as he is in my head. With all of this considered I am still excited to see the movie!

The kids go to school in 2 days! HOORAY!

Just a couple of thoughts for the day. Hope that you have a good day!

There is not too much that can trump the news of Breaking Dawn and the great night that I had at the book release but I guess that this will come in a very close second. My beautiful, caring, long-legged Baby Girl got her hair cut. This is something that Craig and I did not want to happen but what do you do when your daughter comes to you and say that she wants her hair cut and want to give it to Locks of Love. I tell you what you do, you get it cut. What am I going to tell her.... nope all of those people that are suffering from cancer can just do without? Of course not, so I took her and put on a brave face while my heart was ripping in two. In order to donate her hair she had to give at least 10" and she had plenty. I will not put too much in here about the girl that cut her but I will tell you that she needs a new ruler and to learn how to cut in a STRAIGHT line. Needless to say that she took off way more than she was suppose to and it was shorter in the back than it was in the front. Craig is NOT happy and I will just have to learn to deal with it. Taylor loves it though and I guess that is the most important thing, or at least that is what I am going to keep telling myself. I am proud of her for thinking of others. This is just evidence that we have done a few things right along the way. I'll take credit for this and just say that Craig is not being nearly as gracious as I am so she must have learned this from me (HA HA HA HA).

What you might ask would have 9 LDS women out at a bookstore at midnight. That my friends would be Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer. I have waited so long for this book to be released and I am so glad that the day finally came. I had a great time at Angel's house at out pre-release gathering. We all brought things that were either Team Edward or Team Jacob as an appetizer and then we socialized before time to head to Books A Million. We were definately not the only people waiting for the book to be released because the amount of people that were there was just amazing. I think that there were more there that night than were for the last Harry Potter. There were some serious fans because we saw many people dressed in prom clothes and some dressed as characters. I took a pic with a Rosalie wanna be! There was even a Jacob fan there dressed as a werewolf, like I said SERIOUS fans! We did not have to wait in line very long and I was home and reading in no time at all. I did get some reading done but my problem was that I had been up for about 24 hours and felt that I need to get some rest so that I could dig in on Saturday. I was not able to read as much as I would have liked because my hubby and kids would not leave me alone! I think that they were having trouble with their eyes (they obviously could not see me reading so something had to be wrong with there eyes). In the end I got finished with the book and my life is now complete... that is until they release Midnight Sun. I will also be anxiously awaiting the release of the movie. All of you that would like to go together and watch it are welcome. You know I will be there!

HELLO!

Well, it has taken me many years and several email addresses to actually get and create this blog page. I have just finished my Myspace page and with Tori's help I have a really cool page workin', so I have decided to take that success and finally complete a blogspot page. I have had so much fun with the other and I hope to have just as much fun here since I definately know more people here. I have viewed many of your pages and I hope to be just as creative and poetic as many of you are. Lets just hope that I do not need to have my niece come back and show me how to work this cotton-pickin computer thingy. I may need to ask some of you for help from time to time so please be patient with me.
Let's get going and see what we can create!
